File a motion with the court which issued the original order for another order compelling the non-custodial parent to comply with the order. The original court has the power to enforce its orders by way of citing the other person for contempt of court and fining or jailing the person.

In general, child support is based on ability to pay, not other factors such as whether the non-custodial parent is involved in the child's life.
no the child is already 18 then they are legally an adult and the parent doesnt need to pay child support
Yes...a mathematical equation set by your states Child Support Guidelines may be found via the internet. In Florida it is custodial parent- 49% and non-custodial parent- 51% of ALL expenses incurred regarding the children, rent, car payment, insurance, daycare etc...etc...(Obviously the custodial parent doesnt really pay the 49% but has that number as an expense).
probably Depends on circumstances, but if he's not voluntarily, why does it matter?
yes but if she doesnt want the divorce then you can just file for separation.
In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS
If you are married, you can apply for divorce.
Yes. The non-custodial parent will then be owed the support while child is in there care. But it doesnt relenquish them from their prior debt. If the monies is owed direct to you and not a child supporting agency you can come to an agreement with the other party to resolve the debt and have it entered into a court agreement.
